Mike Quote #235
Quote from Mike in Thanksgiving II
Frankie: Mike, your dad is dragging himself around on his belly. Your brother's living in a tent. They might not see the problem, but there is one. You've gotta figure something out.
Mike: [sighs] Well, I guess what would make the most sense is for Rusty to move in with Dad for a while.
Frankie: That's great. Now if there was only a way to transmit ideas from one person to another.
Mike: I'm not gonna tell 'em what to do, Frankie. They're grown men. I don't want to be a bother.
Frankie: Oh, no. Mike. Mike, stay with me. Resist the pull of history, Mike. Do not be swept down that river with them. You have to be the sane one.
Mike: Fine. We'll get into it... At the half.

Quote from Rusty
Mike: What the hell happened?
Rusty: Huh? Oh. Well, you know how it is with the economy.
Mike: The economy burned down your house?
Rusty: Well, no, that was, uh... That was a massive fire.
Mike: Why didn't you call me?
Rusty: Are you a fireman?
Mike: I'm your brother, for God sake. How'd this happen?
Rusty: Eh, well, I was, uh, runnin' the hot plate about four weeks ago, and I noticed one of the cords was frayed. I kept telling myself, keep your eye on that. But wouldn't you know it? I fell asleep facedown with a cigarette in my mouth. I blame myself partially.
Quote from Rusty
Rusty: [to Aunt Edie] No kidding? You're still driving? Well, that's just terrifying. [both laugh] You know, you're eating butter, by the way.
Quote from Big Mike
Mike: When was I supposed to know this? I only found out 'cause I went by the house to invite you to Thanksgiving.
Big Mike: Oh, no. You don't want an old man with a broken hip at your Thanksgiving.
Mike: That's true, but my wife does. Please, Dad. Please, please, please come to Thanksgiving.
Big Mike: Oh, I don't want to be a bother.
Mike: It's not a choice, Dad. The nurses say you gotta be discharged tomorrow, and they can't let you go home alone. Don't worry. We got TV and crummy food at our house, too.
Big Mike: You don't exactly roll out the red carpet, do you?
